JoyofKosher’s Cauliflower Kugel Bites by Tamar Genger

I adapted this from a recipe I found on Epicurious and was so excited that it came out so good. You can surely make it in a large baking dish, but I love them as these little bites. The almond topping is optional, but a nice touch to fancy it up.
